On this cliff, there are not many places that can provide a short rest. It can even be said that there are very few places.??
Even when Ren He took a short rest to calm down his heart rate, it was still a waste, because he had to work hard to hang himself on the cliff, and his physical strength was still being continuously output.
It's just that this time he didn't eat chocolate. Theoretically speaking, he can do anything that Honnold can do with his bare hands.
He now wants to turn this theory into reality.
In fact, Ren He's speed has surpassed Honnold's. Honnold's memory is not comparable to Ren He's, and there is no way he can choose routes and leverage points without thinking like Ren He. So in terms of speed,
Ren He must have the advantage.
At the last 200 meters, everyone could see Ren He's exhaustion. The short sleeves on his body were completely soaked. Sweat was still seeping out from the pores on the surface of his skin. There were still magnesium powder everywhere he passed.
The traces of contamination, each small white dot, are connected together to form his complete route.
When it came to the last 100 meters, everyone was sweating for Ren He, because everyone could see that Ren He was already a little exhausted at this time.
You can see the trembling in his arms through the telescope, which is the best proof.
Ren He's physical strength should be better than Honnold's, but his speed is much faster than Honnold's, and accordingly, he consumes much more physical energy than Honnold originally expended.
And even Honnold himself had already experienced exhaustion when approaching the last 150 meters of vertical distance from the top of the cliff.
But exhaustion does not mean failure. Ren He believes that the biggest factor why people can succeed is their strong willpower.
By this time, what Ren He was fighting for was no longer skill and physical strength, but willpower.
And he believes that, having experienced countless lives and deaths, he is not inferior to anyone.
When Ren He's fingers finally touched the top edge of the cliff, his mood suddenly brightened and he succeeded...
I succeeded!
He struggled to pull his body up with both arms. When he reached the top of the cliff, he lay on the stone platform and panted violently. Ren He took off his red scarf and asked the tk staff: "How long did I use it?"
"5 hours and 47 minutes!" the tk staff said excitedly.
They couldn't help but be excited. What they were witnessing now was history, a new history in the world of free climbing!
Before Ren He, the fastest record was only 5 days, but Ren He took more than 5 hours. This is a different concept!
Just like when you play a game and download a dungeon, someone else's kill record is 3 hours, but you only need a few minutes to think about it and understand that the two sides are completely unequal in strength.
Ren He smiled. He succeeded. Even in his previous life, he was the fastest free-handed rock climber to reach the top of Half Dome without protection!
No one knew that the person Ren He was competing against was no longer the current number one freehand rock climber, but a benchmark in his own mind!
However, at this time, the staff of tk suddenly handed the walkie-talkie to Ren He, and An Si's voice came from inside: "Many people are here outside Yosemite National Park now, just to find you. They have guessed you."
We’re here, what should we do?”
Ren He was stunned for a moment, and he actually came here?! He asked on the intercom: "How long will it take for them to get here?"
"Half a day!" Ansi replied, Yosemite National Park is very big, and it takes a long time to walk even to get here.
Ren He pondered for a few seconds and said, "Have you brought the chocolates I asked you to bring?"
"I brought it with me," An Si didn't understand why the other party suddenly asked this question at this time.
"Just bring it with you. Let's start the challenge of Dawn Wall now!" Ren He said firmly.
This is a walkie-talkie, not a phone. Almost every working group is equipped with a walkie-talkie, and it is powered by a power amplifier, so everyone present heard what Ren He said: Start the Dawn Wall challenge now!
Damn it, are you crazy, challenging two cliffs in one day? Everyone just saw how exhausted Ren He was on Half Dome, how could he continue to challenge it?
An Si's voice suddenly roared over the intercom: "You don't want to die? Yang Xi is still here, do you want her to watch you die?!"
Ren He said calmly: "Believe me."
Just three simple words but they have infinite magic power. Believe me, you just need to believe me!
"Put down the rope. I'll just use the rope to go down," Ren He said calmly to the tk staff. The tk staff couldn't help but fix the rope and hand it to Ren He...
Everyone thought that the knight might be crazy and that the knight was desperate for his life!
But for some reason, everyone chose to believe in him at this moment and believed in him without reservation! This is the magic of knights!
Everyone was silent. They were cheering a moment ago, but now they didn't know what emotions to face this matter. It was incredible to challenge two cliffs in one day.
The knight could have climbed up to the Half Dome slowly, but he chose to push the limit of breakthrough speed. He could also wait to challenge the Dawn Wall someday in the future, but he chose now.
They looked at Ren He's figure descending quickly from the rope, and they felt as if something was stuck in their hearts. Is this other people's life? It's so exciting!
After Ren He came down, An Si handed him a large bag of chocolates, and he ate them while getting in the car. The others gathered their camera equipment, and the convoy headed towards the Dawn Wall of El Capitan Mountain! While the people on the top of the cliff were
Slowly going down the mountain and getting behind the convoy, Ren He gave them a new mission.
A group of seven off-road vehicles drove away, leaving only the quiet and solemn Half Dome still standing here.
…
Half a day later, hundreds of ardent fans of the Cavaliers were the first to arrive at the Half Dome. Behind them, thousands more people were rushing here. This is the charm of the Cavaliers.
When they arrived at Half Dome, everyone was a little disappointed: there was no one there, why was there no one?
No, if the knight really came here to challenge, it stands to reason that everyone would have arrived quickly enough. It has only been 3 and a half days since the official website was updated. It would take 5 days for the knight to climb Half Dome.
Bar.
So based on this time, everyone had excitedly thought that when they arrived, they would be able to see the heroic figure of the knight climbing the rock with his bare hands, but when he arrived, he found that he had no hair at all!
This is unscientific...wrong!
Someone exclaimed: "Look, it's on the Half Dome!"
Hey, what happened to Half Dome? Everyone took a closer look and saw that the fresh and white magnesium powder mark on it spread from the bottom of the cliff to the top of the cliff. Someone took out a telescope and took a closer look: "Damn it, isn't this someone just climbed up?
Are there any traces of the top? Look, these magnesium powders were just left on it, and there are no traces of dust on the magnesium powder!"
"Is this what the knight left behind?" Someone asked in surprise: "We are actually late!"
"It must be a knight, otherwise who would come here to challenge here without making any noise?" Someone has already concluded that this must be the trace left by the knight.
But the key point is, if this is really a sign that the knight just reached the summit, then how long did it take the knight to reach the summit? Three and a half days? This is too scary, right? Just record the time of one and a half days?
However, in fact, they are still too far away from the truth...
